Entrance scholarships

Entrance scholarships are a great way to pay for your university study.

What is a scholarship and who can apply?

A scholarship is an award of money to help pay for your university study. Scholarships may cover study fees or residential accommodation expenses.

Scholarships are available for full-time, first-year level undergraduate study.

If you are in a Residential College, you will use your scholarship to help with your costs, or if you have a fees-free first year, you can use your scholarship for your fees in your second year of study.

Exceptional applicants may be offered this scholarship at a higher value and a longer tenure.

Exceptional applicants may be offered this scholarship at a higher value in year one.

International students

International applicants who have not studied Year 12 and 13 at a New Zealand school or an equivalent foundation level course at a New Zealand tertiary institution are only eligible for the New Frontiers Entrance Scholarship, and application is by invitation only through the International Office.
